High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The P300 (P3) wave is an event related potential (ERP) elicited by infrequent, task-relevant stimuli. It is considered to be an endogenous potential as its occurrence links not to the physical attributes of a stimulus but to a person`s reaction to the stimulus. More specifically, the P300 is thought to reflect processes involved in stimulus evaluation or categorization. It is usually elicited using the oddball paradigm in which low-probability target items are inter-mixed with high-probability non-target (or "standard") items.
